I gave my sister a computer with a newer computer case. Newer cases do not generally have drive bays like they use to so you can use a internal cd/dvd player. Thus, we needed an external drive to play dvds and also burn data from cds/dvds to the computer and back.This Asus model has worked perfect for all of that. It has not gotten a lot of use but has worked fine when it did. It is relatively quiet, and while not nearly as fast as something like an external ssd, it is still fairly quick. It is left unplugged on top of my sis's desk and only gets plugged in if she is using it.It seems of good quality and is a very reasonable price. It has solved the issue on not having an internal cd/dvd drive, and sis can use it on any computer, and myself also if I need to borrow it. This portability I think makes it a better option anyway than an internal one.So no cons. We both like it and it has worked well.

The drive is fine, but my iMac USB slots do not have sufficient power to run his plus other peripherals

Documentation is not great but easy enough to get it going. Bought it to use with my iMac and my MacBook Air M2, neither of which come with a DVD/CD burner. Bought for the M-Disc support. I read reviews that said it would not work on a Mac but I used both supplied cables separately and the unit is powered and plays and rios CDs perfectly. And it will work with the supplied USB-C cable. Also bought this specific unit as it was consistently the highest rated in various reviews I read. And the price was very good for a name brand unit. There are many less expensive brands but I suspect the quality of those may not be as good.

My new Asus gaming laptop didn't come with an optical drive, and I had some info on discs that I needed. Sticking with Asus, I decided on this little portable external drive, and it was a great choice. It works well, although it feels a little flimsy, reads quickly, and seems a good value for the money. It came with all of the necessary cords, and they were just the right length for use. All in all, I'm satisfied with this purchase. I can't speak to its longevity, yet, but based on my use to date, it seems like it will last.

I'm writing this review to clarify Apple Mac support. Bought to review a DICOM DVD because a local hospital network doesn't have the Epic MyChart integration for imaging studies yet (very annoying). The drive worked immediately and without issue on an M1 MacBook Pro running MacOS Sequoia 15.1 using the supplied USB-C to USB mini-B cable. DVD read speed was consistent with the 8X claim. In summary, in my case it worked perfectly. It does also feel a bit more solidly put together than the no-name brand external drives I've used.
